Where does Cotto's left jab rank among active fighters?

[Taeth]

I think he has the most powerful jab in the business p4p, but its not the best.. the list goes something like this
Wlad
Wright
Kessler
R. Marquez
ODLH(look at his fight against Mayorga)
Taylor(great jab)
Cotto
Mayweather(isn't as effective as it used to be, but its still very strong and fast and accurate)

The funny thing is both Wright and Kessler's jabs were pretty much nullified by Calzaghe and HOpkins compared how they normally work, but Kessler's really set up his right hand against Calzaghe, and Wright still controlled the distance at some points against Hopkins.

That being said I can't believe nobody has talked about Wright except Amat. I mean since 2005 he has dominated Trinidad with it, and he badly outjabbed both Taylor and Quartey in their encounters.

Cotto is slow and one dimmensional all he knows how to do is press forward and hit people in the back and in the balls

Oh where are they now?

AlThugz?
FrozenSolid?

Oh you are the biggest tool..mentioning me as a Cotto hater? Find me one post where I havn't given him credit for what he has done or said that he was slow, one dimensional and all he does is hit people in the balls and back? I don't irrationally hate on a fighter...i'll leave that to you and your Mrs (Aka That dummy account you created to throw us all off the scent that you're actually a fagg who masturbates over your Cotto collection)

It's a shame because I really do like Cotto but it is going to be too priceless when Floyd beats his ass just so you can shut the fuck up

Oh sorry about that. You are the one who was at the press conference laughing at every little thing Floyd was saying, right? Your panties were getting moist with every breath he took. I remember you.
I also remember you were the one who ketp yelling like a little biatch at a Beatles Concert 'You're the man Floyd!' 'You're the man Floyd!' I wanna hold your hand, I wanna hold your hand!



I bet if Floyd would have pulled down his drawers and told you to suck his stick you would have asked permission to brush your teeth first since you folks don't brush your teeth often.

Here is the one where you are getting moist and giggly

Who the fuck is the tool now?

I tell you right now both Cotto and Tony will smack Bitch Boy Floyd around plenty but we all know Floyd needs to grow some balls before that happens right?

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

Relatively speaking... Cotto probably jabs harder than any current fighter. Plus it comes with good speed and is rarely off target.

I always viewed a jab as an irritant but Cotto's jab is close to sickening.

Your mum yeah<--- You and Cotto having a swordfight with your cocks

Cotto's Jab and left hook hybrib (half jab half hook) is amazing.

What is incredible is that he seems to have it so perfectly timed. Poor Gomez could not avoid it. He can be in a awkward position while moving out of the way of a shot, and still get that out there and smack it right into the guys face. It is fast and powerful. It really damages opponents.


I think Cotto has evolved into the most complete fighter alive today. He just does everything so well. He really does no wrong in there and his confidence is through the roof.

[Chino]

Cotto looked great...against a nobody. ODLH will look as good against another nobody. So yeah, cheers for both.
Anyways, I did see Cotto a bit faster than in other fights. Liked his jab.

[RP33]

Cotto's jab def looked great against Gomez..

as just about all of these fighters have been mentioned already, Jermain Taylor's jab is ridiculous.. he just stops you in your tracks when he hits you with it.. Klitschko's jab is obviously one of the best.. DLH's is great, Kessler works everything off of his jab.. Winky's jab is one of his best punch's if not his best.. and of course Pretty Boy Floyd.. His right hand leads are definitely more effective, but when he feels that he's in control of the fight he'll unleash his jab, and it is a thing of beauty..

[SweetPea]

I didn't give my answer right away when I started the thread because I wanted to see what others had to say first.

I would rank Wlad's jab #1, both in terms of PFP power and how much he relies on it.

I think Taylor actually has the second most powerful jab in boxing, but he forgets about it for long stretches and doesn't use it nearly as much as he should.

I think Winky has the second most effective jab (behind only Wlad) in terms of how important it is to his style, but I put him a little behind Taylor/Cotto in terms of its power.

In the end, I'd rank them:

1. Wlad
2. Winky
3. Cotto
4. Taylor
5. Kessler

De La Hoya and Quartey both had great jabs, but Quartey is too inactive for me to rank him, and Oscar is fairly inactive, and his one recent fight "wasn't a night for the jab."

[OumaFan]

It doesn't have anything to do with how his jab looked against a "nobody", its been looking great lately in general, just watch the Mosley fight. He pretty much won that fight with his jab.

I'd say its top five, I wouldn't include Taylor just cause he's so inconsistent with it.

[Althugz]

I know he fights nobody's but Felix Sturm had one ridiculously powerful jab against Oscar. Everytime he landed it Oscars head would snap back. The great thing about Cotto's jab is that he steps in with it and really puts his legs into them. He turns a jab from a 5'7 guy into one that should belong on a 6 footer.

[Mar]

Cotto has a great jab...and is a lot faster than people anticipate, enough to beat floyd or even margarito, we'll see.

[The Rookie Fan]

Whether or not its the best of active fighters is certanly debatable and I'm not even gonna get into it.

But I have to say that is the very first time I see a fighter going down from a jab without it being a clear slip... That was awsome.

Check out Julio Cesar Chavez vs Parisi. A nice straight jab to the chin its all it took for him to sit on the canvas.
